I transferred all the pictures & videos from my Nexus S onto my computer when I got the Galaxy Nexus, then transferred them onto my GN. On the Nexus S everything was in order based on the date I took the picture/video, but on the GN it shows all my videos first before the pictures. It seems the dates on all the videos were changed to the date I transferred them onto the GN, while the pictures stayed the same. It's pretty annoying when I want to look through the gallery & I can't find a way to re-order them properly.
Any ideas?
Anybody? I know it's not a major bug, but still pretty annoying.

I'm just wondering if someone could explain to me the new gallery in CM 6. I searched around the forums and from what I read drop box is a program that allows syncing between phone and pc.
When I go into my gallery it says "drop box" and has 9 photos in there. I wiped my phone and formatted my sd card (it had become a bit cluttered) when moving over to CM6, I have not set up any sort of drop box syncing that I know of. The pics showing under "drop box" are pictures I took a while ago, but I have no idea where they're coming from or what's going on. I'm not the brightest.
so if someone can explain to me how the new gallery works and what's going on with this drop box I would appreciate it.
*NVM I guess the "drop box" is not the app drop box but instead the name of a folder on picasa that is connected to my google account. I don't ever remember using picasa or setting up an account there but apparently it's part of google and somehow those photos from my old G1 made it on there.*
I had some hardware problem with my Arrive, but I recently force updated to 8773, so to opt out the software possibility, I restored a backup point, from there, I got this weird problem that the video I took, originally reside in the camera roll, disappeared, only photos can be sync back to the phone, the video could be also, but not in the original folder, and I have to open the Zune to find those. What a weird crap zune,
Hello,
I would like to know for sure how to backup my pictures and videos from my phone, flash new firmware, and then restore the pics and videos to my phone in the same folders, and most importantly, without losing the taken dates.
In other words, I don't want my restored pictures in my phone to say they were taken on the date that I transferred them back.
I have seen this happen before, drives me crazy.
Best way to preserve the pic and video details?
Thanks.
Am I the only one this has happened to? When you have pictures of important events the date seems very important to me

Isnt there an option to tag the picture or video at the time its created?
Pictures and videos are tagged when I take them. After copying to Windows 7 everything still seems ok. At the moment the date seems to stay the same when copying back from Windows 7 to Android but the time gets changed to exactly five hours earlier than the original time. Why? I have no clue. Time on phone and laptop are correct.
I want to upgrade from 4.1.2 to KK, but it is very important to me that I keep the original dates of my pictures and videos.
Is the solution as simple as copying everything to the sd card, unmounting, and then remounting it? All dates and times are of course correct if I simply unmount and remount but would this be true after updating the OS? Does anyone know?
Thanks

[Q] Note 4 Gallery Failure to update
So, how often does the gallery ap, or whatever cache it uses updating for new files?
I download a picture, and it refuses to show up until after I restart the phone.
Ideas?
So. Anyone? Repro:
Download image from external source. Web or Dropbox.
go to gallery app. Notice download gallery is not updated.
have to restart to get it to show up.
Can anyone even repro this? Hello?
SD card speeds?
Hello,
I would start by formatting your SD card and putting your pics back on the SD card. If you dont have a class 10 SD card then the gallery can be a pain.
I use a Samsung 64gb Pro MicroSD and it simply flies. After the first boot up.. never noticed a single refresh. Must have cached all my hundreds of pics as I can
now freely flow though my entire library at full speed with zero redraws. Hope this helps.
PS. Best Buy has the nice 64gb Samsung EVO microSD card on sale for $30 right now. That should be perfect.
That has nothing to do with this. "Havent noticed a refresh". What?
Anyway, the issue is that the gallery is NOT refreshing when new things are written to the card outside of camera photos. So downloaded photos do not show up. It has nothing to do with the SD card.
Thanks.
Good Luck then. Seems you are alone on this. Warranty replace maybe? Factory reset?

Do you have dropbox or picasa Web albums? I know on my phones , the gallery can become unusable because it wants to sync the 9000 pictures I have on drop box, another 6000 or so on picasa and a few thousand from favebook. I have my pictures set to auto upload, so they build up.
Anyway, the gallery automatically I'd set to sync those thumbnails, and the result is that my phone slows to a hault.
Turning off picasa and dropbox to sync in the gallery fixes it every time.
Nope he is not aloe. I have the same issue. And I bet you also have it.
Download a picture from dropbox to SD or externalSD, and try to find it in the gallery. You won't be able to find it because the gallery refresh is slow (or buggy). If you receive files over BT, or snap some pics, they will be instantly available in the gallery. But not downloaded or PC uploaded images.
My solution was to open the image in file exporer. Navigate to where you downloaded it, and open it 1x-2x, then it will show up in the gallery as well. Or another workaround is Quickpic.. It's quite a very awesome app that lets you show/hide different folders (which the default gallery LACKS), even password protect some. The only reason I use the built in gallery is because my display is set to auto adapt and it changes the display to AMODEL picture (but I might change the display to permanent AMOLED picture)..
Hi people.
I recently bought a 64gb MSD card from eBay, and I had set the photos to be storaged at the external storage. Besides that I'm running Android 6.01
The problem is, last night I attended a wedding where I shot some pictures, and during last night I could see in the gallery that when I started taking the pictures, the pictures in the gallery was in the beginning there, however, soon after the gallery would say the pictures format was unrecognizable (WTF?), and the pictures would go missing from the phone. I've tried using the storage handling, which is provided by android. And I'm not able to see the picture. I've tried downloading ASTRO, and get it to show the hidden files. No luck either. I've tried erasing the .nomedia file from the MSD, still nothing.
I've tried here, the morning after to take a new photo, and I can see it's supposed to be saved at storage/emulated/o/DCIM/100media, So I've gone there by the USB port on my desktop, and I still can't see the pictures. I've been through every bloody folder on the storage without any result (And yes, I've tried installing the HTC app for desktops )
If you people have any idea how to get a hold of the pictures (If they are still there?), it would greatly appreciated!
